Teaching a beginner

[E-Man]

OK! Here's what you need to do! When you open your file and have Maya running, you first have to ensure the Attributes Editor is open (if it isn't, click the "Show or Hide the Attributes Editor" button in the top right corner). Next, click on the downwards triangle to open a drop down menu and select the options that look like they could relate to textures. Then you click on the icon to the right side of the sliding bar that changes the texture's color and then click the folder icon next to that blank bar that says "Image Name." From there, you can locate the images that belong to that model.

I hope that helps you, even though I haven't supplied you with images.
